Doing so signals that you've read these docs. If you build a consensus-based blocklist that uses my lists as a source, I suggest adding your own canary domains.

If you see an instance whose blocklist contains these entries, unmodified: if it's a large or open-registration instance, assume the moderators aren't doing their jobs and *do not register* for it. Single-user or tiny tight-knit instances are free to import whatever they want, though. Moderators of large or open-registration instances should be willing to set aside ten minutes to read something before importing a list.

: These domains are often used for HTTP tunneling or short-lived spin-up-spin-down servers. Fediverse instances running on their subdomains almost certainly aren't in it for the long haul, and very frequently shut down within hours or days without doing a clean self-destruct. Note that this is not to be confused with traditional dynamic-DNS subdomains, which are often used for longer-lived servers (although some admins do understandably block those anyway). : These domains are often used for HTTP tunneling or short-lived spin-up-spin-down servers.

## Frequently-asked questions
### Why don't you use tags for easy filtering?
Tags remove nuance. There exist gray areas that make it hard to determine whether an instance clearly fits within a tag; choosing to include or exclude that instance is choosing to make a statement about what "counts". I prefer to describe an instance's reason in my own words, properly.
### How do I get off a list?
If you believe a receipt is inaccurate or you don't belong on a given list, contact me. My contact info should be easy to find on my "about" page. I can't promise I'll respond quickly; feel free to re-send your request if I don't respond within a couple days. I might not be receptive to requests from FediNuke instances, though. I'd prefer if you made an effort to respond to the concerns raised by a receipt if possible.
## Receipts ## Receipts
The following are receipts for instances on my blocklists. Read the text surrounding a link before navigating to it, and let that context serve as a content-warning. No links point directly to the blocked instance; all go to a third-party archiving service. The following are receipts for instances on my blocklists.
